Life in transition

Arranged marriage is a tricky affair. The day my parents started looking for a match, I had this strange feeling taking over me. How could someone choose a life partner after talking to someone for few minutes? On top of it many elders in my family scared me by saying that it was the biggest gamble I was to take in my life.

I met Sumit Kaur Kohli in Chandigarh's Sector 34 Gurudwara. I was impressed with her education and attitude towards life. She was simple and exhibited maturity that I was looking for in my life partner. It did not take much thought to decide in her favor.

Next day, both families had a simple roka ceremony in the same Sector 34 gurudwara where Sumit and I had first met. It symbolized an important transition in my life. From bachelorhood I am now moving towards a completely different phase, with someone new to accompany me.
